Dress Dotty. Block & clay printed, overdyed with indigo in thin cotton voile

The "Indigo from Jaipur" collection is an artisanal masterpiece created by skilled textile masters.
The dress in the Dotty pattern is straight cut with short sleeves, pleats at the neckline, side pockets, contrasting fabric edge at the hem and length just below the knee. An easy-to-wear dress sewn in airy cotton voile. A dress to wear all year round
The pattern is block printed with clay and then overdyed with organic indigo - a masterpiece we love.

This is how the pattern and coloring are created, briefly step by step.
- Block printing with clay is done with chiseled wooden blocks that are pressed against the fabric.
The clay print creates reserve when overdyed with indigo. Dyeing parts of the fabric and leaving parts undyed with so-called reservations have existed for thousands of years.
- Overdyeing with organic indigo, where the leaves of the indigo plant are dried and then fermented takes place in deep wells with their own often secret recipes. A story of its own.
- Washing the print 2-3 times to remove the clay paste.
- Then the fabric is often dried directly on the hot ground in Jaipur.

Durability: The "Indigo from Jaipur" collection is created entirely by hand from nature's living materials and colors. Treat your new garment tenderly and you will have a friend for life. Weather primarily. Wash gently by hand or machine at 40 degrees with mild soap and hang dry.
Wash separately. All indigo may precipitate a little at first - but washes out over time.
